No Dreamweaver Template on a templatted site
I have "inherited" a website that is template-based. Dreamweaver says the pages are based on "Tmpl1" which would be "Tmpl1.dwt"
When I downloaded the website, there was no template folder and no template, so the previous designer decided to not upload that to the server.
Is it possible to simply save the home page as a template with the name Tmpl1.dwt and have everything simply start using that template? The website has 30 pages and I would just as soon not detach then re-attach.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Dreamweaver templates site authentication support
Dreamweaver templates site authentication support
Hi all, i beginning user with that app, now i´m developing an aplication for my same work this includes a web site with user authentication, at this moment i can create all web pages with authetication but i have diferent user's level access and some templates for any level, i need to add that authentication support to each template, because if i add to the template the restricted access it's not work, i think you understand my situation and sorry for my poor english.
Thanks in Advance
HermidioIs it correct that you have to "put" each page sperately? I modified a few of my pages and the only way I could get them to update on my website was to go to each page then go Site - Put, i had to do this for every page i had modified. Also my original issue has been resolved by opening each page allowing the template to update the page and then save then go Site - Put for each and repeat for every page on my site. even though all pages have been created from the same template and when the template is updated i say yes to updating all other pages. Is this how it's meant to work?
Yes.
DW Templates only propagate changes in the non-editable regions of the Template to child pages locally.
Once you've updated all child pages on your local hard drive, you must then upload them all to the web as a separate step.
That's the cumbersome downside to using DW Templates.
I don't use them personally. I prefer Server Side Includes to insert identical content sitewide on websites. -
Need Help Reslicing Photoshop Site Layout to Update Dreamweaver Template
I created a website in adobe photoshop cs3 and sliced it up
to created an html file with sliced images. My main navigation menu
is made up of graphics.
I brought it into dreamweaver and created editable regions,
created rollovers etc. Then I created a dreamweaver template from
that to create the rest of the web pages for my site.
The client has come back to me and wants to add more menu
options to the site. This is where I'm stuck! When I use photoshop
to make more menu slices, it renumbers them. How do I export the
new slices with the new layout so I can use them to update my
dreamweaver template. How can I get those new slices/html layout to
the dreamweaver template without losing all the work I have done on
my current dreamweaver template?
issuenite> Why does photohshop even provided a slicing feature if
it does not provide
> good code?
The slicing is not the problem. It's the export as HTML that
is the
problem. And you'd have to ask Adobe that question if you
want an answer.
We are all just volunteer peers here.

FW HTML is no better.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/why_fireworks.html
At any rate, read this -
http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
- and then look
at your code and count colspan, and rowspan attributes.
Unfortunately, the
only way to avoid this mess is to learn enough HTML/CSS that
you can build
your own tables in DW, and do it in such a way that you don't
rely on
merging and splitting cells (which is what generates those
colspan and
rowspan attributes).
Again, unfortunately, you are REALLY stuck in a bad
situation. Since you
have a) used a completely graphic menu button array, and b)
used a graphic
background behind the menu buttons, and c) chosen to embed
that graphic
background in each sliced button, you cannot add new buttons
without
remaking the entire menu. You will only make that mistake
once. I never
start building menus until I have an approved site plan in
hand. By the
way, that's a nice looking layout.
I don't see any clear path to salvation here. Since you are
absolutely tied
to PS for exporting the HTML and slices, you will have to
recreate
everything, I believe.

Hello!
I am working on new website we are creating for our company. I have never really had any Dreamweaver template file errors before...so this one has me really stumped! We purchased the site files from Template Monster and I have contacted their tech support, but I have not had much luck with them.
I started out by creating the Dreamweaver template folder that includes the template files that I would like to use. I started creating some pages using the template. I placed all the html pages in the main folder of the website. When I go to update the template to those pages I get the following error: "Error reading file (Site Location\Folder name\Dreamweaver template name) returned incomplete data".
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
The site is a CSS based site with a Flash navigation menu. Since it is in the production phase, I do not yet have it placed on a server so you can take a look at it at this time (although if really needed and we cannot find an answer, I may be able to get the test site on line - if someone thinks they can help me answer this problem by viewing the site). Right now the site is housed in the same place we house all of the other sites we have produced and all of our other templates on our other websites work just fine. The main difference with this site is that we did purchase files from Template Monster to help speed us along during the construction of the page structures and also this site has a Flash Navigation Menu and a few other Flash elements (something our other sites do not really have).
I am using Abobe Dreamweaver CS5 and Windows 7
Thanks again for taking the time to help find and answer to this problem!
-JI am curious as to why no one likes them around here.
They have spammed these forums in the past.
The code on their pages is rarely 'best-practice' code.
There are much better choices available.
My co-worker and I have to share the files, since we are editing the site together. The files are not local on our computers, but on the company's f drive that have Novell on it.
This arrangement is a recipe for disaster. The correct way to collaborate on a site with a colleague is with the following setup:
Each of you must have a LOCAL site (local to your workstation)
You would use a single remote location as a staging area, so each of you would have a site definition that specifies your own workstation for the local site, and the same network shared location as the Remote site
You will both need to enable Check In/ Check Out
You will both have to agree to PLAY BY THE RULES!
One (or both) of you will also need to have a second site defined that has the staging server as the local root folder, and would have the PRODUCTION server as the remote site. I'll explain how to use this site soon.
When you use CI/CO, your 'gold-standard files' are on the staging server. To begin working, you would connect to the staging server, and double click on a file, which will a) fetch the file from the staging server to your local site, and b) CHECK OUT the file to you. As long as you have the file checked out, it cannot be edited by your colleague. When you are done with your edit, you would CHECK IN the file (which uploads it to the staging server). It can now be edited by your colleague.
When you add templates to this scenario, things get even more complicated, although manageable. If you ever need to make a change to a template you must use the following procedure:
ALL FILES MUST BE CHECKED IN - this includes both you and your colleague.
One of you would connect with the SECOND SITE, open and edit the template, and save it propagating the changes to all "LOCAL" files (i.e., on the staging server).
Each of you would then need to return to the FIRST SITE, and again check out any files you want to work on.
When changes are done, and files are ready to publish, connect to the SECOND SITE, and upload the files from STAGING to PRODUCTION.
Does that make sense? It's important that it does.
I need to add in one more tab/link to the Flash nav bar.
Using Flash for navigation is a VERY POOR CHOICE, unless you also have redundant, text-based navigation on the pages. By using Flash to navigate, you guarantee: a) your pages will not be spiderable by search engines, b) your pages will not be navigable by iPlatforms, and c) your pages will be inaccessible to anyone browsing with screen assistive devices. Someone is making bad decisions about this site, in my opinion. -
Migrating from legacy site / dreamweaver templates
We are going to migrate to the weblogic portal content management over the next few months - we have thousands of pages on our old site that were created using dreamweaver templates.
Is there a way to automate the migration - to import the old html files? I could use the dreamweaver template to strip out the old design. But then how would I import it? What have other users done when migrating from an old static site to a content management system?You can use bulk loader utility of WLP. Please see the link http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs102/cm/bulkloader.html

What about sites NOT created with Dreamweaver templates
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 (no templates), and code most everything by hand (html, javascript and CSS). Would it work to have people in my office adding content to these existing sites with Contribute CS5 since there are NO Dreamweaver templates in place?
Html webpages are editable in Contribute.

Dreamweaver Template Without Dreamweaver
Hi.
I'm doing an internship for the semester and the place i work is having me redesign their intranet. I'll be gone in December, and while no immediate changes will really need to be made, over time they will probably want to do something such as adding a link in the side menu...
The problem is, I don't think they use Dreamweaver--if they're using another web design program, is it possible for them to edit the dreamweaver template I've created for them?
Thanks.Another approach is to use Server-Side Includes (text files) that contain hyperlinks, common headers & footers for example. Person responsible for updates could edit the SSI files in any html editor. Upload to server and the server would populate changes throughout the site.

Flash banner in a Dreamweaver Template
Hi all,
I am using one of the provided Dreamweaver Templates (CSS).
All is fine, except that for some reason it does not like Flash
imports. I can alter the template as much as I like and it will
always successfully change across the site, BUT if I try to insert
a Flash movie/banner into the template - then it does not appear of
ANY of the site files. The only way I can see the flash banner, is
if I open the template.php file in a browser - then you can see
that it is in fact there and working - but for some reason the
other pages refuse to acknolwegde it. Images / Tables / Text - all
work fine - just not flash banners. I even tried saving the banner
as a JPG file in Flash, then sticking the JPG file in the template
where the banner should - and it worked perfectly, but as a .swf
extension it fails.
Am I missing something?
Nathan> BUT if I try to insert a Flash movie/banner into the
template - then it
> does not appear of ANY of the site files.
Because of the active content .js fix, when you insert a .swf
file into a
template, you must use a Site Root relative path for it.
Open the .dwt template file.
Double-click on the .swf in design view- the "browse to file"
dialog box
should come up showing the currently selected file.
look in the bottom of that dialog box for the pulldown to
change from
document relative path to site root relative path. Change it
to site root.
click okay and save the file, and let changes propagate.
does it show in the child files now?
[note- It may still not show during local preview because
site root relative
paths in javascript will not make any sense during local
preview- they
should work fine on the remote host if the site has it's own
domain name
though]

Dreamweaver Templates with Web Gallery
I have built a site in dreamweaver CS4 I have used a Dreamweaver Template for my pages. Rather than clog my pages up with images I used Adobe Bridge to create a web gallery, It created a gallery ok and I saved it to my hard drive. It created two items, a resourses folder and an "index" file. So I I copied and pasted the two items into my Dreamweaver folder I created and called SS_Bridge. I pointed a link I created to point to the "index" file within the SS_Bridge Folder in Dreamweaver, Will this create a problem as there will be two "Index" files within my site
jjrutterThe "home" page index file would be at the root level of the site. Other folders within the root can all have their own index (default) files.

NEW! Free Dreamweaver templates WITH Fireworks vector files
I just released some free Dreamweaver templates that include
not only the Dreamweaver template dwt file, but also the original
pre-sliced Fireworks file with all the template graphics.
The templates include the dwt, Fireworks file, pure CSS
menus, are AdSense-ready, XHTML 1.0 valid and are very customizable
through both the Fireworks file and the CSS.
If you use one, let me know so I can get a screenshot and
post a link to your site showing how the templates have been
customized by various designers.
Cheers!
BroditCan you post a link to the PHP page, please? This will allow
me to see the
HTML markup on it....

DreamWeaver Template change not updating children webpages?
Hi Group,
Sorry for my newbie question here.
I loaded an HTML webpage, and saved it out as a DreamWeaver Template file.
I then created webpages from the template file (( File - New - Page From Template - Site - Template), and made sure that the "Update Page when Template Changes" check box was selected/checked.
I then created several chldren webpages, and saved them as .html files.
I decided to change the navbar system - part of the uneditiabel region in the template - by opening the template file and edit-ing that file, and then saving it as the same DreamWeaver template file.
However, the webpages did Not Update to reflect the navbar changes in the template fle !??!???
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I believe it is something that I'm doing incorrectly with DreamWeaver ..
Here is the HTML if anyone is interested.

Problem Uploading Dreamweaver Template
Hi,
I am using Dreamweaver 8, and decided to revise my website
using a Dreamweaver template. The pages look GREAT when I preview
them in Firefox or IE. But when I uploaded the home page, using an
FTP program, the page looked like a mess! None of the columns in
the template were there. The formatting is all wrong, and the links
don't work! This page is horrible! I don't understand since they
looked great in the preview. Can somebody tell me what I've done
wrong?
If you'd like to view the mess, it's at
http://www.karathecomputertutor.com
Thanks!> If you'd like to view the mess, it's at
http://www.karathecomputertutor.com
> Thanks!
there's a problem with the way you've defined this site in
dreamweaver.
the link you gave is at the root level of the public hosting
for that
domain.
but the css link is:
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="../karathecomputertutor4.1/3col_leftNav.css
and the links farther down in the page also are "../
that means go up one folder level.
there is no up from the root level.
The site needs to be defined so that the "homepage" file,
index.html is at
the root level of what you've picked for the Local Site
Folder.
and, all the site files need to be in the Local Site Folder
of course.
and, the remote has to show the public level, with the
index.html file in
the root (use the "Host Directory" line in dw if your files
need to go into
a folder like "public_html" or "www" for example) -
Designing Dreamweaver templates (was:Info.)
hey again. i have a question. and i am wondering. if its true. could a designer or photogrpaher make a template and have it used in his or her web site? if so. how? i heard you can do this in either of the two programs. photo shop and illustrator. see i am now a member of bc partner. but i am wanting to learn the in between lines. of web site making. see i have started a web site in the past. using dreamweaver, and now i am using muse. but again i am starting from scratch. right now i am using a current site called wix.com. heres my current web site.
1. wix= http://brian-ford.wix.com/photographerexplorer
2. web site in progress using adobe muse. http://bf-photographer01.businesscatalyst.com
3. heres is wix.com it self. you can see how they have this site designed. and with it they have thumbnails of web site templates. that are editable. http://www.wix.com/html5webbuilder/400?utm_campaign=vir_wixad_live
how is that possiable? all i have learnd as a photo student. was design a web site from scratch. besides adding a background image. i have lerned code bfore. and i can laern more. so what is it that i can do?
so how to desing a template? and make it into a image? that someone/client. can tap on it. and edit it. as what they want.Hi bford 225,

Hello,
I have been tasked with updating the navigation on a site that is using a Dreamweaver template (DWT) as the base file. The navigation was originally built using jQuery navigation UI, however this did not address all of our needs and I have updated it with another version of an accordion.
The .dwt file only is only controlling the navigation and the head of the site.
I have integrated the new xhtml structure and added/removed javascript/jquery into the .dwt file. I saved the file, therefore updating all of the relevant .html files, and verified that the accordion works.
However - the accordion does not work for all of the xhtml files. Some files, seemingly at random, are not pulling in the javascript.
When opening the relevant .html files, I can verify that they have all been updated with the new xhtml and the correct javasctipt. However, when viewing the .html files that are not displaying correctly with FireBug, I can see that none of the jquery/javascript is being applied to the navigation (classes are missing that are injected into the xhtml, but the structure and css is correct).
I've done some research and the only issues I've been able to find are related to .xhtml files not being updated with the correct code, but in my case all of the affected files have the correct xhtml and scripts in the head.
Does anyone have any light to shed on this subject? I am quite puzzled.While I understand that looking at code is the ultimate way to find a solution, the intent of my question was not "how do i fix this" or "what is wrong with my code" but rather "does anyone have any idea as to why this would be happening". Or even, "where would you start to troubleshoot this".
I made my question general as such because I intended on trying to troubleshoot on my own in order to better understand the issue.
Thank you for stating the obvious, not all first time forum posters are completely unaware of how to ask questions properly. -
hi, i am having trouble with a dreamweaver template. the
links in the template do not match the links in the pages i have
created using that template, in that they have a
"..template/somepage.html" whereas in the template it is just
"somepage.html". why does it do this? i have recreated the page,
reapplied the template to the page, recreated my site cache,
recreated a template and a new page and it still isn't working. ??
i am sure it is a simple answer but after reading through the
forums i am not sure what my next step should be.
thank you.> "somepage.html".
If you have a link like that in a template file then you have
made a
mistake. You should never have links that imply other files
are at the same
folder level as the template itself. The most common cause
for this is to
manually enter the link into the template file. Don't do
that. Use the
Browse function to browse to and select the desired target
file.

Dreamweaver template file (.dwt) updates related files but not file time stamp
I updated a bunch of dreamweaver template files, and allowed dreamweaver to update the affected files in the site.
The file were all checked out, and they were updated.
However, the timestamp of the files did not update.
Now, when I synchronise with my server, it doesn't see these files as being "new".
Any way I can get these to update the timestamp without manually finding and pushing all of them?
Using Dreamweaver CS5 V. 11.0 Build 4993This is certainly an odd symptom, and one I have not heard of before. If you just create a new 'dummy' child page from this template and leave it local (i.e., don't check it in), when you do an update does that timestamp change?
